National Science Foundation (NSF) awards five-year grant support for Big Bear Solar Observatory research through the maximum of Solar Cycle 25, when the Sun’s explosive activity is expected to peak.

A New Jersey Institute of Technology research team led by physics professor Wenda Cao at the university’s Center for Solar Terrestrial Research (CSTR) has been awarded a $4.64 million National Science Foundation grant to continue leading explorations of the Sun’s explosive activity at Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO).

The head of New Jersey’s largest utility urged the Class of 2023 at New Jersey Institute of Technology to embrace change and remain positive in the face of challenges ranging from climate change and social inequity to artificial intelligence.

Like any talented forensic science student would, Kristen Mogerman ’23 has been using her sharp analytical skills to unlock one opportunity after the next — from an internship with the U.S. Department of Justice assisting its regional violent crime squad, to her post-graduation destination as a credit and risk analyst with Fiserv.

Mogerman has wrapped up a unique internship experience during commencement week. When she wasn’t in NJIT classrooms and forensics labs her senior year, she’s been stationed with a Newark-based task force working on federal criminal cases.

Be it in a lab, in a classroom or on a soccer field, New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Cassidy Landis is focused, driven and caring. Those qualities should serve her well as she becomes a research associate at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.

Recently, several of NJIT’s star undergrad seniors were decorated at this month’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards for their diverse accomplishments across the STEM sciences.

NJBIZ recognized two professors from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a division of the university’s New Jersey Innovation Institute in its latest lists of Healthcare Heroes.

The annual recognition salutes excellence, innovation and individuals who are “making a significant impact on the quality of health care in New Jersey,” NJBIZ noted in a story about this year’s honorees.

The Highlanders were honored in three different categories. Here’s a closer look at each.

A new collaboration to drive economic and technological advancements in photonics — the branch of science that includes lasers, optical fibers and cutting-edge light-based innovations — has been awarded a development grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines, or NSF Engines, program.

NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) celebrated at its annual springtime award ceremony this month, which brought an afternoon of recognition for the college’s star students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as a special appearance from Nobel Laureate M. Stanley Whittingham.

Students at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have again achieved an impressive amount of prestigious awards this year with 11 students earning nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. Their achievement continues NJIT run, with Highlanders amassing 34 of these awards in the past three years.

Innovation, collaboration, legislation and recognizing the implications of our actions are key to achieving sustainability, according to Shawn LaTourette, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
